India has become an economic collapse story of how not to do things. People are desperate::: raipes galore:: famine:: poverty:::terrorism:::buildings collapsing everywhere. India has become, in short, an empty "DAHI HANDI".

India is tribal country like Africa. There are 800 tribes in India with a population of about 670 million. Some of these are Gonds, Aghoris and Pahari Gawars. In terms of geographical distribution about 55% of tribals lived in central India, 28% in West, 12% in North-East India, 4% in South India and 1% elsewhere.

52% of Tribal population is Below Poverty Line and 54% tribals have no access to economic assets such as communication technology and transport.

HONOR KILLINGS IN INDIA
To be young and in love has proved fatal for many young girls and boys in parts of north India as an intolerant and bigoted society refuses to accept any violation of its rigid code of decorum, especially when it comes to women. The two teenage girls who were shot dead last week by a cousin in Noida for daring to run away to meet their boyfriends are the latest victims of honour killings, a euphemism for doing away with anyone seen as spoiling the family's reputation. Many such killings are happening with regularity in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh. These are socially sanctioned by caste panchayats and carried out by mobs with the connivance of family members.

India has become a dinosaur. A Smithsonian specimen. Like humpty dumpty even USA, NATO and the entire free world are having a tough time holding it together. Living in the shadows of Pakistan, defined by China, haunted by Kashmir and punctuated by Terror Organizations such as Shiv Sena, India is struggling to find a meaning for its existence and a place in the new world order. How can it stand up? Certainly not on its feet .....perhaps on its to seek redemption for double crossing USA in Afghanistan and Iran. Typical of Indian DNA.

We believe that this defragmentation of India will unleash boundless opportunities and uber economic demand that will be beneficial to US and Europe and help pull them out of current recessionary trends. We pray for the events to unfold peacefully and in a harmonious manner for the people of India and its neighbors.

The world talks about science, medicine. In India the national dialogue is about raipes and suppression of minorities. We have become so much pulled apart. Two different worlds....FAR APART. NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET

They say 95% of hindus don't have plumbing in their homes in India. They dig a hole in the fields to take a crap. Dry the stuff up and use for plastering their homes or as cooking fuel. Thats how the word dryvit came about.

They bottle the p iss and use in lieu of coffee first thing every morning. Watch out 7 11 customers!!
